I am not diagnosed yet... my doctors are waiting until I present with more symptoms of either lupus or some other form of arthritis...but I was wondering. Today, I went to my GP with three spots (rashes) on my lower legs. They have been there for over a year now and I can't get them to go away on my own... so I went to my GP today.
I was told I had eczema (although it is not an itchy rash). I was wondering if that is something that is common with lupus patients. He explained that it was an autoimmune response. I told him I was in a very stressful situation last week, and I did notice it was worse then. He said stress can play a role in it. I have some steroid cream to put on it....
If is it arthritis related, and I have been taking Celebrex like mad... then wouldn't it show that it isn't working?? I don't know... I just wanted to ask here and be more informed next time I go see him.
